The Feather printing feature is also visible whether it’s enabled or not.

      When in Printing status, the printing passes are displayed along with the Step parameter.

       

       Caution:

      • During printing do NOT press any button on the NG Keypad unless it’s the Cancel job one. Otherwise, you can interfere with the machine settings and change important printing parameters.
      • By pressing the Menu button on the Keypad, you view a lot of options, but the main one the user needs is the Head Cleaning. It gives you the options of Weak, Medium, Strong, and Fill Up cleaning cycles. Also, you can set up the automatic cleaning frequency.
      • All the other available options are for service purposes and are not recommended for user handling, otherwise told by an authorized technician.
